Terms of Service

Last updated: March 4, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of ATS CV Checker, including the Chrome browser extension, the web application at www.atscvchecker.pro, and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). ATS CV Checker is an independent project operated by an individual developer ("we", "us", "our").

By installing the Chrome extension, accessing the website, or using any part of the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Description of Service

ATS CV Checker is a free Chrome browser extension and web application that provides:

  • Real-time ATS resume scoring on job listing pages
  • Keyword gap analysis comparing your resume to job descriptions
  • AI-powered CV generation tailored to specific job descriptions
  • AI-powered cover letter generation
  • Job application tracking

The extension is available in 52 languages through the Chrome Web Store. ATS scoring and keyword analysis features are provided free of charge and run locally in your browser. AI generation features require server processing.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use this Service (16 in jurisdictions where the GDPR applies and the member state has set the age of consent for data processing at 16). By using the Service, you represent that you meet these age requirements. ATS CV Checker is designed for adult job seekers.

3. User Accounts

No account is required to use the core features of ATS CV Checker. If you choose to create an account for the web application:

  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • You agree to provide accurate and current information.
  • You may delete your account at any time by contacting us at support@atscvchecker.pro.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Upon account termination, your stored data will be deleted from our servers within 30 days.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use ATS CV Checker only for legitimate purposes. Specifically, you agree to:

  • Use the Service for genuine job searching and resume optimization only.
  • Not fabricate qualifications — Do not use the AI generation features to create false credentials, fake work experience, invented degrees, or other misleading information. You are responsible for ensuring your resume content is truthful.
  • Not abuse the Service — Do not use automated scripts, bots, or other means to generate excessive requests that could degrade the service for other users.
  • Not reverse-engineer — Do not attempt to decompile, disassemble, or extract the source code of the extension or backend services.
  • Not circumvent restrictions — Do not attempt to bypass any usage limits, rate limits, or access controls.
  • Not use for harmful purposes — Do not use the Service for spam, phishing, harassment, or any unlawful activity.

Violation of these terms may result in suspension of your access to the Service.

5. AI-Generated Content

ATS CV Checker uses artificial intelligence (OpenAI GPT-4o) to generate tailored CVs and cover letters. By using these features, you acknowledge and agree that:

5.1. Accuracy and Verification

  • AI-generated content is a starting point, not a final product. You must review and verify all generated content before using it in job applications.
  • AI may occasionally produce inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate content. This includes but is not limited to: incorrect dates, misrepresented skills, fabricated achievements, or irrelevant information.
  • You are solely responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of any application materials you submit to employers, regardless of whether the content was AI-generated.

5.2. No Guarantee of Results

  • We do not guarantee that AI-generated CVs or cover letters will result in job interviews, offers, or employment.
  • We do not guarantee that AI-generated content will pass any specific Applicant Tracking System. ATS algorithms vary by employer and software vendor, and their criteria are not publicly disclosed.
  • The effectiveness of any resume depends on many factors beyond our control, including the job market, employer preferences, your qualifications, and competition.

5.3. Your Responsibility

Submitting misleading, false, or exaggerated information in job applications may violate laws in your jurisdiction and could result in termination of employment if discovered. We strongly encourage you to use AI-generated content as a framework and customize it to accurately represent your genuine experience and qualifications.

6. Not Professional Advice

ATS CV Checker provides automated resume analysis and AI-generated suggestions. The Service does not constitute:

  • Career counseling — We do not provide professional career advice. Our suggestions are algorithmic, not based on professional career counselor assessment.
  • Employment guidance — We do not guarantee employment outcomes. ATS scores are estimates based on common ATS patterns, not exact predictions of how any specific ATS will evaluate your resume.
  • Legal advice — We do not provide legal advice regarding employment law, discrimination, or labor regulations in your jurisdiction.

If you need professional career guidance, we recommend consulting a qualified career counselor or resume writer.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1. Our Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, algorithms, user interface, graphics, documentation, and all related content, is owned by ATS CV Checker and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Service without our written permission.

7.2. Your Content

You retain full ownership of your resume content, CV profile data, and any information you provide to the Service. We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your data.

By using the AI generation features, you grant us a limited, temporary, non-exclusive license to process your data solely for the purpose of generating the requested output. This license terminates immediately upon completion of the generation request. We do not store your content beyond the processing window.

7.3. AI-Generated Output

CVs, cover letters, and other content generated by the AI based on your profile and job descriptions are yours to use as you see fit. We do not claim ownership of AI-generated output. However, similar outputs may be generated for other users with similar inputs, as the AI model is shared.

8. Service Availability

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make our best effort to keep the Service running smoothly, but as an independent project, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Specifically:

  • We do not guarantee any specific uptime percentage or service level.
  • The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, server issues, or circumstances beyond our control.
  • AI generation features depend on third-party services (OpenAI) and may be affected by their availability.
  • We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice.
  • Browser-based features (ATS scoring, keyword analysis) will continue to work offline or when our servers are unavailable, as they run locally.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

  • The Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
  • We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, be error-free, or produce accurate results.
  • We do not warrant that ATS scores reflect how any particular employer's ATS will evaluate your resume.
  • We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated content.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In such jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law. If you are a consumer in the European Union, this section does not affect your statutory consumer rights under EU law.

  • This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

For EU consumers: Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for damages caused by intent or gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable EU consumer protection law. Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

For UK consumers: Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.
